an empty space

by Karyn Huntting Peters



an empty space seemed
to appear just now
where yesterday
no such place existed.

it is shaped like you.

this is very cool. i really like the concept that this poem brings to mind, the feeling of "emptiness" or "nothingness" coming into being amidst "fullness" or "somethingness" and having a shape, and for that shape to be able to be sensed even in air, which is not empty, as if contained in an invisible mold the shape of one particular person who is quite recognizable to one other...
